The design of the restrooms is an important element no matter what type of building is being built or remodeled. That is especially true at a time when infection control and prevention from COVID-19 is a major concern, according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.
Patient outcomes, as well as staff safety, depend on making the infection control process as easy as possible. This is an important factor in hospital restroom design that has a ripple effect on other industries.
Giving thought to the spatial arrangement, sequence and access to sinks, wash areas, and disposal containers are critical elements of healthcare restroom design.
Plus, larger and more structurally robust facilities are being designed to accommodate our society’s increasing size and weight. This trend will continue as long as the social trend continues.
